This place serves Korean and Japanese food. The meal was decent and the number of Japanese / Korean customers vouches for the authenticity of their menu. Unfortunately the place feels a bit untidy and the cleaning standards could easily be upgraded a few notches. I am glad I went there, but I am in no rush to return.

This little Japanese-Korean restaurant is a great place to stop after a busy morning shopping on Regent's Street. The restaurant is a few blocks from Oxford Circus and two blocks from Regent's St. The lunch menu is wonderful and the dishes have plenty of food for only 7 to nine pounds. Both my friend and I had delicious food for... More

I have been only one time, the restaurant was recomended for a friend, I have to say that I didnt have the best impresion of Korean food because some kimchee I ate many year ago.

£7 for lunch menu I got miso soup, salad, chicken teriyaki with rice and fruit. Where do you get quality, healthy food in Oxford St for that?? That is my favourite place to eat in this area. Quiet, helpful staff and full of Asian costumers, that is always a good sign, means the food is good!

Arirang is fast becoming one of my favourite restaurants in Soho. The setting is classy, and the atmosphere is just like being at a similar establishment in Seoul, right down to the Korean pop music playing lightly in the background, to the slightly aloof waitresses. The food is delicious, especially the BBQ menu, and the addictive kimchee. The wait staff... More

We went there with a group of 10 people and the set lunch menus are incredibly good value for money (under 10 pounds each). In addition, the food is very good and the place was full of locals. A bit tucked away off Oxford Street, well worth the find! The staff isn't very smiley but efficient,

Having been to Korea several times and enjoyed this food how its meant to be cooked and severed, this restaurant never seems to disappoint. The lunch menu is great and the restaurant has recently been refurbished. Staff are always friendly and services in normally good. Can get very busy of an evening, but is well worth the wait.

Pretty ordinary, I wasn't that impressed, it wasn't bad either but if you want a good Korean in Soho, go to Nara on D'Arblay Street instead.

Korean is my least favourite cuisine, but I was pleasently surprised this time - the barbeque beef grilled at your table tasted delicious!
